Jerry,

Hope all is well. Karla and I took our 4
year-old, to Disneyland last week. There is an
attraction there where a lifelike Lincoln
recounts his speeches and thoughts. At one point
Lincoln was talking about our great nation, and
how no outside force could destroy what we have,
if we were to ever lose the wonderful democracy
we had built, it could only come from within. I
can't help but think that is exactly the road we
are traveling now.

Best wishes,

Andrew

Hello Jerry,
I enjoyed this story. I learn something new each time a new story comes my way. Thank you.
God is helping me in a big way. I have a resounding joy, in my heart and being. I know that He would
never burden me with this struggle, without the knowledge that we
will succeed! This is very encouraging
and drives me forward. This Saturday is our program. We are all set, and I pray that we sell it out. We have
worked hard on this, and I know God will be there with us.
I keep thinking back, to see where I really got back on track. The answer is the same.... your book. I keep this
book, in my office, next to me. It give me strength and the will to move forward. For this alone, I will be eternally
indebted to you. You are truly and great Man. God be with you, protect you, and move your agenda forward.
Bye for now, the fight continues.

There is a similar story to "And when
George Washington went into battle, he never went
without first asking for God's help. there is one
written account of a messenger looking for
Washington with an important message. Where did he
finally find him? In the woods, on his knees,
praying."

It is that Britisher Patrick Ferguson [who later
died at the Battle of King's Mountain] had seen a
man in prayer in a clearing in the northern woods,
an American, but he did not kill him, though he
could have easily taken the shot, because he would
not kill a man in the midst of his prayers.
Later, he discovered he could have killed George
Washington, himself.
Interestingly, the British might have won the
Revolution if they had not been so insular that they
had kept the militia troops subserviant, despite
militia having better tacticians, and if they had
not regarded the invention of the Scot, the
repeating rifle, as beneathe their dignity to
manufacture. God's providence works in frailities of
men too.

Dear Jerry,

I just read your "Be a fan of America" article and I
found it a
bit perplexing. I'm not sure that I would lump
Abraham Lincoln and
every other common man in America in the same
category. Despite
Lincoln's own comments I don't think there is much
of an argument that
he was indeed an extraordinary man. The idea that
common men can run
such a great and powerful country, I feel, is
dangerous. That does
not mean that the country shouldn't be operated to
serve the interests
of the common man. I think one of George Bush's
(for example)
greatest assets to his electability and legislative
successes was his
down to earth personality. I do not think that was
an asset to his
ability to lead this country through the storms it
encountered.
Considering myself a common man I have no qualms
admitting that I am
in no way qualified to lead this great country and
find it harmful to
this country to endorse such an idea.

Have a great day.

-- Perry

Jerry,

Enjoyed your comment.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Mr. Washington
when he was presiding over the creation of the
constitution. It is a quote I wish more Republican
legislators would consider today in the light of the
pressure to be "bipartisan".

He said: "If to please the people we offer what we
ourselves disapprove, how can we afterwards defend
our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise
and honest can repair. The event is in the hand of
God."

Hope all is well with your Texas life and you have
found an additional cruise or two to enjoy.

Jim

Hello Jerry,
This one brought me to tears. I now know, how George Washington felt. God has given me the courage, and unrelenting drive to
do what I can to save our Country. You Jerry, thru your book, set me on this mission. I can trace my conversion into a book seller,
community organizer, and political activist, right back to what I learned from you. God Bless You. I think and pray for you every day.
I pray all is well with you, and your family. Stay safe, and keep up the good fight.

Jerry, your storytelling ability and cadence (especially the first paragraph) are one of those gifts-given.

Thanks, Steve

The Rick Monday story brought tears to my eyes. Hadn't heard that one before. Wish everyone had his integrity!!!

BelleAmie

Hey Jerry,
Another winner, keep it up.
Each time I receive your reports I seem to be busy. I pause, then make a decision to either open it or move on to my many “things to do”. I have yet to be disappointed in choosing to take a few minutes to read through your reports. It’s said that we are inundated with so much information both good and bad, that we quite often miss out on encouraging words like these.
As time passes I hope to increase the “read rate” and get blessed more often than I have been.

Thanks so much,

John

Why resist so drugging was the only way to ensure
involvement?
My parents led the way with service, and I loved
going along to be helpful. I was not doing the work
alone, but in companionship with my mom. That made a
big difference in my reaction to the opportunity to
help someone.

Mary

Another good column, Jerry. Keith Green has always
been my favorite Christian singer and it's nice to
see others still remember his lyrics. He was a
pioneer and a Bible teacher with his music. I often
wonder how much more he would have taught us, and
how many more he would have brought to Jesus, had he
lived longer.

BelleAmie

Good morning Jerry,

I love this writing,
so thank you for this gift.

One thing, the
person who sings the son is Steve Green

FYI

Phil

Jerry,

You are so right. We
must have the last word in defining who we are, and
what we believe in. That movement is now underway.

Jerry, in the last 2
weeks, there has been a monumental shift in the
perception of where this administration is taking
our beloved Country.

I feel a strong wind to
our backs. Good, decent people from every walk of
life will use the power of the word, principal, and
our VOTE to

change the directions we
are headed. We will save this Great Nation. I feel
God's presence, in all I do. I pray to him, to use
me God.

Use me. And He does.

Diana

Hi Jerry,

Great job on today's Stewart Report. The song by
Keith Green is a favorite of mine...one that I've
enjoyed singing with Elaine. The words are the prayer of
my heart for my own life. I also appreciated the Audio
clip....so truly pathetic a place at which we have
arrived. Good job.

Diana

Dear Jerry,

I enjoy your emails. You know how I enjoy history
and I like how you relate it to life. This weeks
side reference to Benjamin Franklin caught my eye. I
just read "Benjamin Franklin: An American Life" by
Walter Isaacson. It was a very good read, I
recommend it. While I'm recommending books, I also
just finished "Blood and Thunder: The epic story of
Kit Carson and the Conquest of the American West" by
Hampton Sides and would strongly recommend it as
well. Both very interesting and informative.

Rod

Dear Jerry,

Well done on your
latest e-newsletter. It got me thinking and reminded
me of a conversation I recently had with one of my
close friends - we talked about how America is built
on "tolerance." Our Founding Fathers could disagree
and yell, scream and even take it "outside" on
issues that were at the center of discussion - they
did it not based on party politics but rather on
what was best for our country.

We need to move
back in that direction.

Keep up the good
work.

Respectfully,

Mike

Dear Jerry,

What an amazing story. I don't believe I've ever
heard it referenced before. Only a firm conviction
and the power of the Holy Spirit could cause that to
happen. Makes me wonder if any of those Roman
soldiers later yielded to Christ after the reality
of what had occurred really sunk in.

Thanks for sharing.

Diane

Dear Jerry,

WOW!!! That is one
powerful story. For me, right now, I would give
everything I own, and yes my life, fighting for my
country.
I never thought, I would be fighting my own
government!! But fight I must, and fight I will.

There is an awakening happening in our Country. I
feel a wind to my back, and a downhill ride to
November 2010.
We Will Win This Fight!!!

Randy

Hi Jerry thanks for a
great story!

We all need to hear a story like that at such a fast
pace life during Christmas especially.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we will
all be thinking of you during our family time (it
wont be the same without you!!!)

Love,
Jean and family

Dear Jerry,

Great piece about Teddy Roosevelt. Thanks. Tim and I
recently read a hard-to-put-down book about him
called "The River of Doubt." Need a good read? or a
great gift? Check it out...a historical (post
presidency) adventure story re. a trip in the Amazon
basin that we had never heard of before.

And that is my literary tip of the day.

Merry Christmas!

Krista

Dear Jerry,

Merry Christmas, Jerry! How encouraging, literally
are those words. Powerful. Just Powerful. I hope you
are doing well with all your adjustments and that
life in Texas is gratifying. God is so great.

Whatcom County is quite chilly lately, but we're
having a 50 degree heat wave today with a gusty
South wind.

Blessings and Light in His Name,

Tim

Dear Jerry,

I really enjoy your One Moment in America.

While I appreciate America because we all join
together in celebrating it, I also appreciate
America because it lets me be who I am and make my
contribution as a Jew.

Irving Berlin who wrote God Bless America and White
Christmas was also a Jew.

By the way so was Kate Smith the best known
chanteuse of God Bless America.

Every time an American dreams of a white Christmas
or blesses America with that song, that contribution
was made by a Jew.

Now, I know that’s not always your focus, but for
us, who are so often excoriated for so much, it
seems that a mention would not be too much to ask
(you may recall that I wrote to you about the
Congressional Medal winner as well…

That’s my Moment of Reply

Keep up the great work.

PS – Who invented the electric Menorah?

Sol

Dear Jerry,

I just love that message. It is so simple. God will
show us the way.

I spent the day yesterday, Pearl Harbor Day, with my
Veterans!
Each year, on 12-7.... I witness the greatness of
the Country. Old Veterans, and
young enlisted me, sharing the memories of that
fateful day of infamy. I am so lucky to
have forged these friendships. They will not be with
us much longer, my time with them is
so precious. I hope this email finds you well, and
strong. Kathy and I are hanging in there,
and are busy. Jesus' birthday is soon, what a joy. I
love this time of year. My God bless you,
and protect you. I think of your often, and feel
your courage and strength. Thank you!!

Your friend,

Randy

Dear Jerry,

Another phenomenal message.....I really enjoy your
writings. I think of you often.

BelleAmie

Good Morning Jerry :)

That was a power packed, Holy Spirit driven
message!! Thank you for hearing the very breath of
God, trying to REVIVE America to stand up and fight.
Fight for what we know is right, according to Gods
standards...not mans. We are indeed overcomers, and
if we don't go through the fire and stand firm on
what we know is right, keeping our eyes on Jesus, we
will stay in bondage to the world and it's ways!
When I was reading this I saw a picture of the scene
from the Passion, when Jesus was brought in and King
Herod was lounging around with his followers. In the
film Herod was obese and his followers, looked to
me, as being oppressed. I remember hearing in my
heart while I watched the movie, "Herod represents
satan, and his followers, demons...see how smug and
prideful they are" immediately I knew the battle was
going to intensify after that movie was released.
God's people are becoming like that...so captured by
the world and it's ways that they can't see the
Truth anymore...falling for the lies, and deceit of
the enemy. This is happening with "Christians" and
non Christians alike. The same thing that happened
to the Israelites, the people of Noah's days, the
people of Sodom and Gomorrah...history repeating
itself only on a much uglier scale. It is time for
Gods army to stand up and fight for the lost and
brokenhearted, we can't lay down, and give up we
must continue to fight for Gods people! Remember
Proverbs 29:18 KJV, Where there is no vision the
people perish! This is the "seeing the Truth" part!
We have to come together in unity and pray for
America, Home of the BRAVE! Jesus was no weak sauce,
He was a Mighty Warrior, who knew the outcome and
still persevered and fought until the battle was
won!!! The enemy was defeated at the Cross, Jesus is
the Victor! There is a shift of thinking that needs
to happen, in America, we need to be change agents
for Christ. Changing and shifting the atmosphere
with His Presence and Glory! True light bearers, no
matter what the costs, the outcomes, the sneers and
jeers we can not renounce the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth. We must not ever renounce the name of
Jesus. I am standing on 1 Peter 12-14, especially
14! The Spirit of glory and of God rests upon
you!!!!!!

Will you let me know your thoughts on this? :) I'm
not sure what came over me hahaha! But I concur with
what you were saying, keep it up Brother!!

Blessings on you Jerry!

Monique

Good Morning Jerry,

I just read the current "Stewart Report". Just
perfect! My dear wife Kathy, keeps telling me, that
what the Country is experiencing right now
is a good thing. Hardship. Seeing what one party
rule produces. In one short year, we see what a very
liberal/progressive agenda has wrought
upon our Country. I hope and pray, that the good
people of this Country have awaken, and see what is
going on, and act in 2010 to turn this around.
With our Lord's help, we will accomplish this
mission.

I hope and pray this email finds you well, strong,
and determined. Keep up the righteous agenda/battle.
You are a great warrior. You are
leading untold numbers of good citizens, who just
need an encouraging message, and a plan. Keep it up
Jerry. You are a blessing for our
Nation. God Bless You!!

Dear Jerry,

Good, thought provoking story and challenges. We
need to be challenged, for sure. Way to
go.....AGAIN!

Love ~

Diane

Dear Jerry,

I appreciated your
wonderful editorial defining ‘a hero’ for us, and
I’m aware that, as that was your purpose, keeping
the report very general may have been important.

However, I assume that you are aware of the other
germaine facts about Leopold Karpeles---he was a Jew
and an immigrant. He originally came to Galveston,
Texas in 1861 to live with a brother, at the
beginning of the Civil War. Galveston was a large
port of entry for immigrants in those days and had a
significant Jewish population. Karpeles could not
stand slavery and moved north and joined the Union
Army.

I appreciate Leopold Karpeles as an American Hero,
but I also appreciate him as a Jew. We have been so
often pilloried by accusations of disloyalty,
cowardice, and avarice, that these examples are
important to us. I know it was not your main
purpose, but I would have hoped you would have found
a place to mention Karpeles’ Judaism, as it
certainly informed the process that resulted in his
heroism.

Thanks again for your good work.

Sol

Dear Jerry,

That was beautiful! It
really helps to once again put things into
perspective. Living with confidence in a chaotic
world. I have been reading the two books that Dr.
David Jeremiah has written. The first was "What in
the World is going on" and now the other "Living
with confidence in a chaotic world". I have gained
such wisdom from reading these books and will
encourage anyone to read them.

God Bless you Jerry.

Thank you for your
dedication to serving.

Diana

Great column! Well done
Jerry!!!

Marv

Yes, the people were gullible, but the
quasi-news was deceitful.
In much the same way today the news is quasi and
deceitful.
The intent is to sway towards a particular point of view
- and
action, or inaction.
Today in Washington, we are dealing with that issue with
71.
Deceit can triumph in the earthly arena of evil, whereas
only truth
can triumph for eternity.
God bless you for your unique work.

Mary

Thanks Jerry for the timely message.
As I was reading a speech by Solzhenitsyn yesterday
I learned that in 1933, as FDR was warning us about
fear, he was "fearlessly" granting full diplomatic
recognition to Stalin's USSR which had already
murdered hundreds of thousands of its citizens,
possibly millions. In 1945 at Yalta, FDR was
evidently so afraid of Stalin that he meekly agreed
to the enslavement of Eastern Europe, even though he
knew that before the war Stalin had averaged killing
40,000 political prisoners a month for over two
years. Then he and our allies also caved in to
Stalin's demand that all Russian soldiers trying to
stay in free Europe be returned. 1.5 million were
handed over -- to be executed.

FDR turned out to be a great coward, except when
it came to deficit spending and packing the Supreme
Court.

One of two cenarios----------------------------------------------------------#
1, If CHRISTIANS (The real ones -1st John 4:2 & 4 with
colosians 1:26,27 KJV) Will do 2nd Chronicles 7:14
instead of just preaching it & talking it, while not
obeying that part of it that says "and turn from their
wicked ways. THEN America is comeing down and litterally
being turned into hell -Psalms
9:17-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 2, If CHRISTIANS from their hearts fail to forgive
their opponents sins & blindness that satan has blinded
them with. Then we CHRISTIANS have tied Gods ability to
intervene by his own words - John
20:21,22,23.-------------------# 3, If CHRISTIANS do not
awake to rightousness & sin not & see their divinely
appointed time (as Jesus draws near our city (Luke 19:41
thru 44) and looks to see if any know their appointed
time to stand in the gaps - Ezekial 13:5 and 22:30 and
make up the hedge for America. No but unlike Moses -
Exodus 32:9 thru 14, We CHRISTIANS visualize in our
hearts saying destroy those Democrats, or destroy them
republicans and make of us a great nation (verse 10). #
4, Come "now" CHRISTIAN, Let us be ashamed & blush -
Ezra 9:6 and obey Father - Matthew 5:44. Forgive them
and pray for them, not that their endeavors would
succeed but that their heart, eyes and ears would be
opened to be converted so that we all may be healed -
Acts 28:27,28, . Lay claim to those last four words of
verse 28 as we pray.-------------------------------TAKE
IT NOT LIGHTLY TAKE IT NOT LIGHTLY- Get yourselves
unlazy, Shake off the LETHARGY & INDIFFERENCE. -
PRAY----LOOK IN YOUR BIBLE READ THOSE VERSES - SEE
YOURSELF AS YOU REALLY ARE..........

Jerry,

Great to hear from you again. Keep up the
excellent work!!!!

Doug

My wife and I heard your
Independence Day broadcast on KFEQ Radio in St. Joseph,
Missouri. It was unlike any program we had heard
before! Glorious way to celebrate the 4th of July!
